| 758019 | 2009-03-20 05:38:00 | I reckon 3 months. Just enough time so that if the user has the problem again, they can reopen their thread. | Blam (54) | ||
| 758020 | 2009-03-20 05:44:00 | 3 months, I do get sick of seeing ancient threads brought up, although it doesn't happen that often. | radium (8645) | ||
| 758021 | 2009-03-20 06:04:00 | It';s a pain when a thread is closed and new info comes along months later so you have to start a new one pointing back to the old one. If you want an example of this look at Geekzone.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 758022 | 2009-03-20 06:05:00 | I voted 90 days. But does this mean the thread is locked and can't be replied to or does it mean the thread disappears forever and is now no longer searchable or part of the database? Never the Fridge thread should die. It is part of PressF1 history IMHO. Should we go a step further and remove all members 90 days after they last posted in which case we may have lost a Mary for example. The IDG code girl! At the moment PressF1 has heaps of members who have not posted for yonks. Must be making the database bigger. :2cents: |

| 758024 | 2009-03-20 06:42:00 | I month from when no post are made. Then, if possible the only person who can activate it is the person who created it. |

| 758025 | 2009-03-20 08:39:00 | Six months as technology moves on in roughly six month cycles I have noticed. Just what I have noticed may be different in other areas | gary67 (56) | ||
| 758026 | 2009-03-20 09:10:00 | WHAAATTTT?????? Close threads - are you kidding Jen? :badpc: But but that would mean the end of..........THE FRIDGE...........:spam pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Then bump it - I was hoping someone would bring that up. Do the airplane one too while you're at it :-). |

| 758027 | 2009-03-20 10:01:00 | WHAAATTTT?????? Close threads - are you kidding Jen? :badpc: But but that would mean the end of..........THE FRIDGE...........:spam pressf1.pcworld.co.nz I've only just found this thread - shortly after quoting Winston's name in my post in the FRIDGE bumped one. (Should've known you'd be quick off the mark there, Winston. Stick with it, lad) I can't vote in this poll because I don't agree with any of the options. It doesn't bother me at all when old threads occasionally reappear. And I don't mean just amusing ones. I've often found good advice in quite ancient posts by doing a keyword Search here. If the results are really outdated, that's usually obvious & it's great to get a selection of opinions from variously-named threads. Not everyone has the latest hardware or software. I'm sure old posts relating to what the experts here think of as basics have helped many new users - especially overseas ones, who may not actually join the forum, but just browse during our night time. I've not been here so often recently, so have obviously missed threads which explained WHY we need a change. I do hope it's for technical reasons - not just that a few people here are so busy that they grudge the time it takes to click a newer thread. Surely it couldn't be just that their "delicate sensibilities" are offended by anything out of date? Where's the box for Dont Close Old Threads? |
